Estwing what more do I have to say? I literally bought 2 of them, one of each size sold on Amazon. The company goes back over 50 years. Fantastic ax to have when you're going Into the Woods reliable durable dependable. Lightweight, you don't feel the vibrations when you CHOPPING. I'M PLANNING ON BUYING ANOTHER SET FOR MY BROTHER AND MY NEPHEW. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS BRAND THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 50 YEARS. THIS IS WHAT THEY SPECIALIZE IN NO VIBRATIONS WHEN CHOPPING DOWN ANY kind of wood because of the rubberized handle full tang construction. MY SON LOVES HIS AXE, AND I LOVE MINE thank you very much Adam Altman

I got the Estwing E-45A Campers axe a couple days ago and I am very pleased with what I received. The axe was on backorder for a couple weeks but I was informed of the status of my order several times during my wait. I am very glad I purchased this axe. I have used a half axe about this size about 45 years ago and found them very handy when camping and at Boy Scout Camp. Full sized axes were just too big for most scouts. If they used them they worked themselves to death and would stop. Then you couldn't get them to help again. Of course this was when scouts could use axes and sheath knives. I still have a couple full size axes but wanted to see if these were still as easy to use as I remember. This is a great tool and is of the highest quality. First, the sheath is old school and made of beautiful thick tooled leather. The sheath is heavily stitched and has strong rivets and double snaps. The fit is snug and a very safe way to transport the axe. It is well tanned but was a little dry so the first thing I did was to wipe it down with neatsfoot oil. I recently saved a old leather sheath for a 18 " machete that had been in a shed for twenty years with neatsfoot oil it took weeks but it is restored to almost perfect condition. You don't see much neatsfoot oil around today. The axe blade is beautiful and just the right size for my uses now. The edge was rolled a little when I checked it but with a few licks across a steel that was cleared up. I can use this thing without killing myself. I can even use it with one hand if need be. The stainless was very smooth and well brushed to a medium shine. The shaft appear to go all the way through the handle. I can't guarantie that it goes all the way through the handle but if is like several of my other Estwing tools it does. The grip is designed to absorb vibrations and does so very well. If it last as well as my others I will be passing this down to my grandson with the other Estwing tools. I would not carry this if I was backpacking but think it will be the best general camp tool that you can have if you like an evening fire. Now if I was in a Zombie invasion I think this would just about be the perfect tool/weapon. It has enough wight to pierce a skull but not so much weight to cause you to over swing wasting time and energy. I would recommend this axe from this dealer in a skinny minute and if I needed another I would have no second thoughts about its quality. I Highly Recommend This Axe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Great quality, perfect size, shape, weight, grip all great. Well worth the money. My mom's friend's sister's hot niece said I look like a real man when chopping wood with this so it's now my new favorite tool.

Purchased for my husband to use on the farm. Great quality and sharp edge. Lightweight, comfortable axe.

Steal quality is good but the handle sheds like crazy. Super poorly cast rubber that isn’t evenly slightly sanded at the factory. Axe length is also incredibly impractical for pretty much everything but I should have measured my other axes before purchasing so that’s on me.

Durability and craftsmanship in a good full bodied, steel axe. Slender head profile bites deep into wood and can serve as a light splitter as well. Batoning on it and overstrikes are of little concern being there is no wooden or synthetic handle to worry about. Heavier than some of the ones using other handle materials but very well balanced . This is the in between one for when an axe is too much to pack and a hatchet may not be enough to get the job done easily. Fell small trees, split wood for small campfires, drive steaks, chop corn and break rocks if you like, it's capable. Handy, durable, and hard to get a hold of when camping season kicks off. Fellow campers may choose to borrow your axe versus using their own if they try it. Slim neck design under head I've heard makes it difficult to choke up for small precise work or feathering but I have large hands and no issues with these types of chores. Yes a thicker handle would be nicer but then it would be a=of a less sturdy material. Good rubberized large griping area which cushion the blows well and limits hand fatigue. Get it and if for some reason you don't care for it you should have no problem finding someone to buy it from you!

High quality

Perfect size and weight very sturdy only problem chipped the first one sent it back got a replacement before I even mailed my first on Awesome customer service

I used this axe every day when I managed the biggest axe throwing venue in the southern hemisphere. There isnt much to say about these axes, except they are made from high quality steel, and are an amazing tool that will last you a lifetime.

Excelente, recomendable!

… ein hohles Rohr als Stihl prellt stark beim Hacken. Habe auch die kurze Handaxt; diese ist massiv. Da prellt nix. Würde mir das Teil nicht nochmals kaufen.

This is a fantastic all around axe. I use it for backpacking and camping trips. This is still a very well made item, it seems like something that will outlast me. I love the weight and it can handle anything outside of splitting fresh logs. Great weight and feel when felling dead standing trees, and splitting dried wood. If I ever lose mine I know that I will be right back here for another.

Recently restored my estwing. Needed a new sheath. Glad I could find and OG. Good price too.
